First thing after breakfast I hopped over to the rental car place to pick up a car. Daylight savings time had just taken effect and it was entertaining to see one guy not knowing if it was 10 AM or 12 Noon. Then as Laura went to the "Hells Kitchen" show, we drove out to Bill and Diane's house where Laura, Maxine, Charlie and Abby all joined us for lunch. Diane fed us very well with London broil, some shrimps and cheese with pepper jelly among other delicious items. We got to see their newly renovated house, catch up with everybody and hear plans for Abby's upcoming wedding. As a gift we brought some fine Japanese whiskey and proclaimed it "Japanese Whiskey-Fest Round Two" in commemoration of the whiskey drinking by Bill and I in Osaka. Everyone except Leslie, Maxine and Diane had a sip or two. Luckily it stopped at a sip or two each unlike "Japanese Whiskey-Fest Round One" where the entire bottle was consumed.

The amount of light that the new layout lets in is amasing

Smelling great
